    GKX episode 3 - Internet, Nerds, Cargo Cults, and Idolatry

    GKX episode 3 - Internet, Nerds, Cargo Cults, and Idolatry

    It's a magical time to be a geek, but I'm often found wondering if the access and growth of nerdy material isn't also poisoning us. Are we responsible enough, or even psychologically capable, to handle the speed and access to information offered by the internet? I argue no.
